Yea! Go me! Finished my first 10! :D

12. Here's to You, Rachel Robinson by Judy Blume

ooh I really enjoyed Meg Cabot's Size 14 is not fat either and Big Boned! How did you find it?

Well I really liked The Princess Diaries, so I went on to Meg Cabot's website and found them. I got them at the library and they made me laugh so hard. Did you hear that there's finally going to be a 4th book, after Big Boned?

13.Faking Faith by Josie Bloss

Is there? oh I should research more on that, I can't wait!

14.City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
15.Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot
16. Every Boy's Got One by Meg Cabot

17. Divergent by Veronica Roth
18. Across the Universe by Beth Revis

19. A Million Suns by Beth Revis
20. The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart
21. Moonsong by L.J. Smith
22.Phantom by L.J. Smith

I have done my first 20. Only about 78 more to go! I loved the boyfriend list, the L.J. Smith books could have been better and A Million Suns was good.

23.The Treasure Map of Boys: Noel, Jackson, Finn, Hutch, Gideon—and me, Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart
24.The Boy Book: A Study of Habits and Behaviors, Plus Techniques for Taming Them by E. Lockhart

25. Real Live Boyfriends: Yes. Boyfriends, Plural. If My Life Weren't Complicated, I Wouldn't Be Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart

25. Real Live Boyfriends: Yes. Boyfriends, Plural. If My Life Weren't Complicated, I Wouldn't Be Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart

I love Ruby Oliver. She's slightly neurotic, extremely funny, and completely adorable. I like how she did make bad decisions, but that she admitted them you know? Like when she did something wrong/terrible, she knew it was wrong and did tried to apologize for it all.

26.Lord of the Flies by William Golding
27.Don't You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey by Margaret Peterson Haddix

28. Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares
I liked this book. The only problems I have with it are the problem you are supposed to have with it, like I can't believe so and so did this and things like that.
29.Airhead by Meg Cabot
I always did love Meg Cabot. She makes me laugh, but this is not one of my favorite series by her. I love these books, but I love others better

30.It Started with a Bet by worldclass (Wattpad)
I really really love watttpad. I like this book so much, I finished it in about 4 hours

31. Being Nikki by Meg Cabot
32. by Meg CabotRunaway

33. Mister B. Gone by Clive Barker
This book, I really freaking loved it. One of my new favorites! It seemed to real, like if Mister B. really was trapped in the book. I admit, I was a little scared when I read the death threats.
34. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
The book was cute. I liked it.

35. Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn
36. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

37. Hate List by Jennifer Brown
Hmm, honestly I thought the book was going to be a bit more exciting. I gave the book a 4 out of 5 but I thought it would be a 5 out of 5

Oh? I've been eyeing Hate List and wondering about it. Is it worth it?

Mary wrote: "Oh? I've been eyeing Hate List and wondering about it. Is it worth it?"
I think it mostly depends on you. The book was good, I just thought it would be better. So yeah, I guess it's worth it, but just barely.

38. City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
39. City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
40. City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
41. City of Lost Souls: Stephen's Letter to Jace by Cassandra Clare
So I gave in. The books are AWESOME!! I feel like a nerd saying that, but it's okay. I really did love all of these books. City of Fallen Angels was a little boring in the beginning, but after I got into it, I loved it. I really feel kind of dumb for not wanting to read the books until after I got to finish the Infernal Devices, but hey I read them all now. And I cannot wait until the final one comes out! I love Cassandra Clare.

42. The Vespertine by Saundra Mitchell I read the book again. I don't really know why, probably because the second one is coming out soon, so I just wanted to freshen up my memory of everything. And it was a good book.

43. The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons
This book broke my fricken' heart. I fell in love with this book. All I was think at the end was "Why, Why, Why??"Then I found out that there are 2 sequels. I am getting those ASAP.

44. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
My first time reading this book, I am ashamed to admit. But I loved it, I really did. I felt so sad when they died, that was for me, the best written part of the play.

45. Tatiana and Alexander by Paullina Simons
Freaking out in the beginning and in the end. And freaking out when reading what was happening to Alexander. Not so much with Tatiana. I did like this book, but definitely not better than the first. I liked this ending of the book. I like it so much, I really don't want to read the third book, for fear of another ending like The Bronze Horseman.

46. Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers
I love the book. It's perfect, and it's so honest. I guess I just have a hard time imagining that there are people who would actually do that to each other. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I know there are people who do that to each other. Especially in high school, but it's different knowing it happens and actually reading it. I'm planning on reading the rest of her books now.
47. The Art of Forgetting by Camille Noe Pagán
Good enough. Kind of boring, actually. And predictable. Also, too neatly tied up, like she was trying to give a perfect ending with sugar and cherries on top.

48. Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
49. Crescendo by Becca Fitzpatrick
I've reread these books. Mostly, I like them. I don't like them as much as when I first read them though. I like how Nora is pretty much her own self, not like some heroines (achem Twilight), but I don't like how helpless she is. I mean, I get that since she's human and all, she can't be expected to fight against people double her weight and probably 2 times quadruple her strength, but I wish she at least could fight against her human enemies, like Marcie. So that she wasn't soo helpless.

50. The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab
I like this book. It's not heart-stopping, but it's good. Really good.

51. The Springsweet by Saundra Mitchell
I like The Vespertine better. that one was more exciting. Not that this one wasn't good. It just wasn't exactly fantastic.

52. Bumped by Megan McCafferty
I did not like this book. First, I couldn't remember which twin was which, by name. And I hated the religious one. She was so "O gosh, save her spirit for God!" and then thinking inappropriate thoughts about the model. I liked the other twin. But the book got boring. Really boring. I hardly remember it. Completely forgettable.

53. Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers
54. This is Not a Test by Courtney Summers
I could not put either of these books down. I actually stayed up until almost 4 a.m. to finish Cracked Up to Be. And now I'm worried/anxious about whether or not there will be a sequel to This is Not a Test. Because I want more. I really do.
55. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
56. City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare
57. City of Glass by Cassandra Clare
58. City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
59. City of Lost Souls: Stephen's Letter to Jace by Cassandra Clare
So you can see, I kind of went a little crazy and reread all these books. I went so crazy, I read each of these books in order. One per day. Is that a little weird? Oh well. I just love these books, and rereading them gets me agitated and still waiting for the final one! Only a few months left!!! AAhh...I think I may be a fanatic.
60. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
I did like this book. I was a little bored by it in the middle. I hope that isn't a bad thing. I just, I don't know, lost interest. I did love all the parts about Susie's sister, Lindsay. She was an interesting character. The ending was pretty good, too.

61. Shut Out by Kody Keplinger
I liked this book because it was funny. I liked it because of the fact that Cash had a name like Cash. But I loved that the entire time during the war, or most of it at least, the girls were getting comfortable with each other, and actually becoming friends.
62. Shadowland by Meg Cabot
I liked this all right. It wasn't as good as The Princess Diaries or the Heather Wells series. But I liked it enough to want to read the whole series.

63. Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
I did not have any idea there was even a book. I saw the movie first, and the movie seems kind of different than I would have imagined now. But I loved the book!
64. Beauty Queens by Libba Bray
I was at the library and I saw it, and I thought "Why not?" Plus I loved Going Bovine. One of my few good decisions. I thought this book was funny, sad, and it made me think about stuff I haven't in a while. It also made me fear Taylor Rene Krystal Hawkins.
65. Princess Mia by Meg Cabot
66. Forever Princess by Meg Cabot
I just wanted to reread these books, just because.

67. Fall for Anything by Courtney Summers
I liked Eddie. I like Culler, but had my suspicions about him. Did not like Miles. I don't know why, I just did not like him. The book was pretty good, though.

68. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling
69. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
70. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
I don't think I have to explain how awesome these books are. Also that i love them. If I had to choose, I would say that one of 6 of the books is definitely my favorite. I just don't know which one.

71. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling
Again, Harry Potter is awesome. Wish I had the next 2 books
72.Eragon by Christopher Paolini
73. Eldest by Christopher Paolini
74. Brisingr by Christopher Paolini
75. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini
I like these books. I really do. If I had the money, I'd buy these books. BUT HOW COULD HE END IT LIKE THAT??? Seriously!! That was the worst thing he could do. It's not that it's a bad ending, it's really good. But I didn't want it to end like that, and yes, I'm aware it doesn't matter what I want. But still. On a different note, I think it's pretty amazing Eragon is only 16 and he did all that.
76. The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
Maybe I'm going to reread the whole series again.
77. Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones
My favorite part was when Sophie and Howl popped up. Abdullah was a good character, but I think Sophie and Howl are much better.
78. Vacations from Hell by Libba Bray
My favorite story was The Mirror House. But I may be biased.

79. House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones
This book was good. And funny. Charmain seems kind of spoiled and lazy. Aside from that, I liked her, my favorite parts were when Sophie, Morgan, Howl, and Calcifer showed up.

80. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
81. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter exudes awesomeness. That's all I have to say. I'll reread the final one tomorrow, I think.
82. Princess in the Spotlight by Meg Cabot
83. Princess in Love by Meg Cabot
I like the Princess books. They're funny. They make me laugh. And I love the part with Michael and Mia!!!
84. Such a Rush by Jennifer Echols
Not bad. Better than the other 2 books I've read by Jennifer, mostly because this time I liked both the female and male leads.
